Rain Gutter Gardens

I received an article of which I think is a great concept for those that have limited space; or just want more consolidation of their greens. I imagine this could assist in controlling a rodent problem as well. 

p.s. Some smaller versions of these will be raffled off by Cropswapper at the San Diego Natural History Museum event - "Ecology of Soil: A Public Health Concern" this January 12th.
 

Hey There CropSwappers,

It's been a while since we have posted, so we wanted to give a quick update on what we are doing. We have been attending the San Diego Natural History Museum events on local food. There has been a great turn out and lots of people are signing up to be a CropSwapper. So far we have been adding about 40 members per event, so we are hoping to have lots of participation for the next season of crops (we will do a crop organization in Jan/Feb). We are also doing a swap at the table during the beginning of the events from 6-6:30pm. Feel free to bring in items for a swap and hope to see you there!

Here is a list of the upcoming SDNHM events we will be attending.
